The Delhi BJP Legislative Party filed a complaint against the Guru Gobind Singh Indraprastha University with the city’s anti-corruption branch (ACB), alleging grave irregularities in its medical entrance exam and the counselling process. A delegation, led by Leader of Opposition Vijender Gupta, met lieutenant-governor Najeeb Jung-appointed ACB chief M.K. Meena and demanded a proper investigation in the case.
Along with Mr Gupta, BJP MLAs O.P. Sharma and Jagdish Pradhan met the ACB chief. The BJP MLAs, in their letter to the ACB chief, wrote that the entire episode points to quid pro quo by the university to favour certain candidates over others and claimed that this has put a huge question mark on the entire admission procedure. “Hence, it needs to be thoroughly investigated,” said the letter.
Mr Gupta said that the Guru Gobind Singh Indraprastha University had changed results of its medical entrance exam overnight, just a few minutes prior to the time at which detailed schedule for counselling of the MBBS programme was supposed to be notified. Certain candidates were allowed to check their OMR sheets, that too, after the results were declared.
Questioning the role of university, Mr Gupta asked: “Why did not the university notice the mistakes before declaring results in the first place and why were only a few candidates allowed to inspect OMR sheets and why were other students not intimidated about it Can a university change the results overnight declared by it three weeks before ”
The Leader of Opposition in the Delhi Assembly said that under the Rule 54 of the rules of procedures of the Delhi Assembly, he had tried to give a notice on June 25 for calling the attention of Delhi education minister Manish Sisodia to the matter.
“The government, however, failed to respond, even after repeated efforts by the Opposition to get the matter heard in the Assembly. It seems that the government is not interested in the welfare of the students whose future was put at stake by the university,” Mr Gupta added.
